Security: Password breach detection during login
2 days ago by Krish Advani
Quickwork now prevents users from logging in with passwords that have appeared in publicly disclosed data breaches. The system securely generates a SHA-1 hash of the password and checks only the first five characters against known breach datasets. The remaining hash verification is performed locally. This approach helps prevent unauthorized access using compromised credentials while preserving password privacy. Users can regain access by resetting their password to a stronger one.
